What is your field of expertise and why did you choose it? I’m a senior research engineer at The Intelligent Sustainable Technologies Division (ISTD) at Georgia tech Research Institute (GTRI), where we develop innovative technology systems to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of Georgia’s agriculture and food processing industry. As a…
What if everyone in a neighborhood had a voice in redesigning it? How can city planners democratize future smart cities, big data analytics and decision-making by involving citizen participation? That’s the vision of the Tokyo Smart City Studio, using GPS and other location data to track trends in human behavior. The studio is part of the…
5G+ (5G/Beyond 5G) is the fastest-growing segment and the only significant opportunity for investment growth in the wireless network infrastructure market, according to the latest forecast by Gartner, Inc. But currently 5G+ technologies rely on large antenna arrays that are typically bulky and come only in very limited sizes, making them…
Thanks to better diagnostics, therapeutics, and care, the overall cancer mortality rate has plummeted in the past 20 years. But cancer survival disparities stubbornly persist along racial and ethnic lines, demanding a firmer grasp of the underlying mechanisms at play, which would ideally result in better outcomes for populations disproportionately…
Premature births from cesarean (C-sections) and induced deliveries fell by 6.5% during the first month of the Covid-19 pandemic and remained consistently lower throughout — a likely result of fewer prenatal visits due to efforts to slow the spread of the virus, according to new research from Georgia Tech's School of Economics. …
Meet Anirban Mazumdar, assistant professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, director of the Dynamic Adaptive Robotic Technologies (DART) Lab, and faculty member in the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM). IRIM is one of Georgia Tech's 10 interdisciplinary research institutes (IRIs)…
As the world’s demand for electronics keeps growing, so does the impact on climate change. The carbon footprint of those billions of devices we use, including smartphones, already accounts for about 3.7% of all global greenhouse emissions and at the present rate of use, could reach 14% by 2040. “Therefore, we need to limit the increase of the…
Air Force veteran, chief scientist, and academic are just three of the many impressive titles included in GTRI Senior Research Engineer Anne Clark's curriculum vitae. But during Women's History Month this March, Clark has one message for aspiring female leaders across the globe: Be yourself. "One of the things I would tell young women is don't…
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) solves the most pressing national security problems, from spacecraft innovations to artificial forensics, and has historically sought to partner with Georgia Tech faculty to enhance those solutions. Seeking to further enhance the benefit of research collaborations with academic faculty, last year…
Metallic materials used in engineering must be strong and ductile – capable of carrying high mechanical loads while able to withstand deformation without breaking. Whether a material is weak or strong, ductile or brittle, however, is not determined simply by the crystal grains that make up the material, but rather by what happens in the…
